What to grab at the self-service bar
While waiting for the food, you can help yourself to pickles, small plates, an apron, and water at the self-service bar 🥒 The self-service bar itself is neat and cutely arranged. Pickles to cut the richness of Western food are a must!
The cute rubber duck plating caught my eye 🦢 The food had a neat yet cute sense to it, which put me in a good mood even before eating 🥰 The plates too showed off Omil's clean-but-cute vibe 🍽
Rubber duck omurice — and they give you a toy?
Rubber Duck Omurice The cute rubber duck-shaped omurice put me in a great mood the moment I saw it 💛 The yellow omurice was prettily plated with duck-shaped quail eggs — so cute 🫶 *They give you the duck and the tube toy 🥰🥰 They said we could take them home, so I tucked them right into my pocket :) If you visit with a kid, definitely order the rubber duck omurice! Kids will love it.
It looked so pretty I almost hated to eat it, but one bite in, the soft egg and savory fried rice blended together deliciously! A flavor everyone can agree on 👍
How is the salmon steak gnocchi?
Salmon Steak Gnocchi This dish comes with salmon steak and gnocchi together, and just visually it looked delicious 🌟 The plainly grilled salmon was soft with a nice nutty flavor that paired well with the rich cream sauce. The chewy texture of the gnocchi made it even better.
The vegetables mixed in had a subtle bitterness that cut through the richness of the cream sauce. Instead of feeling heavy, the cream sauce stayed enjoyable all the way to the end 💖
Truffle fries
The truffle fries were crispy fries with truffle aroma added, giving them great flavor. The truffle scent wasn't overwhelming, just right, and they were seasoned saltily enough to enjoy on their own.
